97 Cobra wheel question

17x8" and 17x10.5". ALL under the fenders. 315/35s on the rear.

I have some 17X11 inch wheels on the rear of my 97. The tire size right now is 285/40/ZR17, and I am looking to go larger next time. I did however put a Maximum Motorsports panard rod kit on to keep the axle in line around corners to keep the tires from rubbing on the fender. It does help with cornering, but you will have some noise from the rod due to it moving freely to avoid binding. The tires don't even come close to sticking out of the fenders, which is a good thing. I live in PA where they will pull me over in a heartbeat if they did stick out. Oh yeah, I also forgot, I added new upper and lower control. I did this because I was getting rid of the quadra shocks to make room for the wider tires. I haven't had any problems with wheel hop after doing that either.

those 10.5 rims look nice, Ford should have made the wheel meet the fender in the first place.

Hi again,



The rear offset is +27mm. AFS makes these to precisely fit to the Stangs fender lip.

BTW all, I have a pair of these wheels in the garage...for sale...cheap! As well as a similar pair of 9s. Just FYI.
